Restaurant

Overview

The French Revolution launched the modern restaurant
industry along with the printed menu, which offered single dishes priced and
prepared to order. You can still dine at a restaurant today and order from a
menu, of course, along with countless variations of the restaurant theme.
However, the types of injuries associated with restaurant work haven’t changed:
sprains and strains; cuts, lacerations, and punctures; burns and scalds; and quarrels
with fellow workers and clients.
